This study guide covers the Compromise of 1850, focusing on the context surrounding it (the Mexican Cession, California Gold Rush, and the resulting slavery debate), the key provisions of the compromise (including the Fugitive Slave Act, California's admission as a free state, and popular sovereignty), and its ultimate failure and contribution to rising sectional tensions. Key figures like Henry Clay and Daniel Webster are also discussed. Finally, the guide provides practice questions and exam tips.
